Students who love a small college and want to get a lot of one-on-one time with their professors when they need it. Limestone is also great for athletes.

Tips for prospective students

Find out who your advisor is when you get here and stay in touch with him or her regularly. Also, don't get behind on your work because it is very, very, very hard to get caught back up. Take advantage of all the free tutoring and office hours. Enjoy Limestone.

Bang for the buck

Though slightly expensive, you are getting an education you pay for. Great professors, nice people in the administrative people, free stuff, on campus activities, and experiencing meeting people from all over the country who play different sports. President Griffin even knows his students names and he recognizes them on campus. Limestone is a great school. Also, athletes have a great advantage. There are lots of fields for practice, a great strength and conditioning staff, great coaches and also great teammates.

Am enjoying being here

I love it here. It's a small campus, which means you can get everywhere within 5 minutes. The campus is beautiful and filled with a lot of history. Limestone is a very athletic school, and you get to bond with so many athletes from all over the country.

Am learning a lot

The professors here are great. They know what they are talking about in lecture, and they offer plenty of flexible office hours when you don't understand something. Some professors even stay on campus late in the evening to offer office hours. The classes are relatively small compared to large universities, so you get more interactions with the professor other than just listening to someone talk the whole class.

Ehh..the security does their job, a little too well. Especially with ticketing for parking in restricted areas. Aleays there to help you get into room if you left your key inside or lost it.

Greek Life

The school banned groups like these after an incident hurt someone.

Clubs and Activities

There are a lot of activities. Limestone has fairs health fairs coffee houses and student center where you can just chill or play games, music.

Great for these types of students

Students who prefer smart to be apart of big campuses. If you want one on one time with teachers so you get the help you need. This school is especially for those who play sports and want to be drafted etc.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Limestone College fairly private, so you'd probably get the chance to meet everyone by the end of the semester. The cafeteria is next to a quarry, water over what used to a town. It's forbidden to go into because the current can drag you down all the way to the bottom which is very deep.he school is said to be haunted. It used to be an all girls catholic school. On Halloween, the students are taken on a tour of the school and they tell us stories of what all happened there. You can also see figures and hear voices.

What to do for fun

Gaffney is a pretty small town, so you would have to go to surrounding areas to go out. But there are nightclubs, restuarants, an outlet mall, the movies, and on Fridays the school have events everyone can enjoy. The sports games are usually entente as well.

Food and Dining

Because there are a lot of athletes, the food is mainly appropriate for them. There's a salad bar, sandwich station, pizza/pasta station, savory station, and dessert station. The cafeteria is usually packed, but there is enough room for everyone. The stations also put up facts about the food they're serving, calories etc.

Dorm Life

Dormitories used to be hotels so the rooms are fairly big. Boys and girls have separate dorms, there is two twin size beds in every room. There is one coed building for athletes mostly. Every hall has a resident assistant to, of course, assist you when there are problems. Boys can't be in girls dorms after a certain time, vice versa.

Academic Rigor

Limestone College makes sure that academics come first before anything. The classroom sizes are small so the teacher has the chance to help every student who needs it. Academics is not taken lightly, you are expected to do well and beyond. The faculty and staff are superior. They make it their mission to help the students as much as they can.

Tips for prospective students

If you love sports, this is most definitely the school for you. If you decide to come here, prepare to be challenged academically wise. Limestone plans ton of fun informative events year round, if you decide to come here, attend many as possible, you will enjoy every single one I promise.

In three sentences

Limestone College provides the perfect environment for the students who'd prefer not to be on big campuses. The classes are pretty small, which gives the teachers a chance to have one on one time with each student. Not only is Limestone College an academic school, it is also a huge athletics school. The school is always having events, so they keep us busy and close knit.

The quarry

What to do for fun

In small town Gaffney there may not see like a lot of things to but you can always find something. There's bowling, shopping, getting food, lots of things. Also, people always throw parties or have people over and everyone is always invited so you always have somewhere to go.

Food and Dining

The food is subpar, I'm a vegetarian and sometimes it's hard to eat on campus. I wish the food was fresher and healthier. But they are improving it a lot.

Dorm Life

The dorms are extremely nice. Most of them are spacious and have good views. They're also suite style so you only share a bathroom with three other people.

Academic Rigor

The academics are all of what you make it. If you want to challenge yourself, there are classes and teachers that will push you. If you just want to get by then you can also do that as well.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure this is the school for you because if it's not then it can be difficult to transfer credits out.

In three sentences

Limestone is a small school with a big heart. Everyone gets along great and you can walk around comfortably, knowing you have friends all around. The athletics are absolutely amazing and I am proud to on the women's lacrosse team and to be apart of it.
